It looks like a gentle tug out will do it. Maybe a quick dip in some milk first, though.

It ain’t me, it ain’t me, I ain’t no fortunate one

very punny! maybe you have the correct lottery numbers there cookie

If you go to a Chinese restaurant, somebody will take it out of you. But . . .

Really good play on words, close to a pun?

I can’t take the snickering when I leave Restrooms doc.

Great pun!

A bad case of twisted vowel.

And that, children, is how fortune cookies got their name.

Misfortune cookie.

the fortune you seek is in another cookie

you will die alone and poorly dressed

“If I remove it, your fortune becomes my fortune.”

In bed.

It looks like it may be pretty well baked in.

“You’ll be hungry again in one hour.”

Not judging, or anything…

Help! I’m trapped in an operating suite.

Once got a fortune that read, “Disregard previous fortune.”

Why would anyone want to remove a cookie!?

Impacted wisdom, I guess.

Know what I mean, Cookie?

Crumbling to pieces is in your near future.

The surgeon is one smart cookie.

Lol!
